PIC12C Overview

What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Microcontrollers.

PIC12C is a Microchip Technology order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 23 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.

IC MCU 8BIT 768B OTP 8SOIJ Other listed variants describe: IC MCU 8BIT 768B OTP 8DIP; IC MCU 8BIT 768B OTP 8SOIC.

Across listed variants, watch these parameters: packages: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm).

Suffix examples in this family: 508-04E/SM, 508-04I/SM, 508A-04/P, 508A-04/SM, 508A-04E/P, 508A-04E/SM, 508AT-04/SN, 508T-04/SM. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.

Example MPNs: PIC12C508-04E/SM, PIC12C508-04I/SM, PIC12C508A-04/P, PIC12C508A-04/SM, PIC12C508A-04E/P, PIC12C508A-04E/SM.

Key Features

Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
23 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 508-04E/SM, 508-04I/SM, 508A-04/P, 508A-04/SM, 508A-04E/P (+18 more). Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.

Ordering Code Differences

How suffixes on PIC12C map to package, grade, and reel options.

PIC12C uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.

Suffixes seen here: 508-04E/SM, 508-04I/SM, 508A-04/P, 508A-04/SM, 508A-04E/P, 508A-04E/SM, 508AT-04/SN, 508T-04/SM, 509-04/P, 509-04/SM (+13 more).

Full MPN examples: PIC12C508-04E/SM, PIC12C508-04I/SM, PIC12C508A-04/P, PIC12C508A-04/SM, PIC12C508A-04E/P.

Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.

How to Choose the Right PIC12C Microcontrollers

📦

Match the footprint first

Packages here: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm). Open the land-pattern drawing before you substitute a different suffix.

⚡

Electrical headroom

Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For PIC12C, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.

🌡️

Temp grade letter matters

Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.

🔢

Copy the full MPN

Do not BOM only "PIC12C" — include the full suffix (e.g. 508-04E/SM, 508-04I/SM, 508A-04/P). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical questions about the PIC12C product family.

Is PIC12C a single part I can order, or a family prefix?

PIC12C is a base / family code from Microchip Technology. You order a full MPN such as PIC12C508-04E/SM, PIC12C508-04I/SM, PIC12C508A-04/P. The variant table lists 23 orderable lines with different suffixes.

What do the suffix letters on PIC12C part numbers mean?

Listed suffix fragments include: 508-04E/SM, 508-04I/SM, 508A-04/P, 508A-04/SM, 508A-04E/P, 508A-04E/SM. Typically they encode package (8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)), temperature grade, and tape/reel option. Always decode on the Microchip Technology datasheet ordering guide — do not guess from pattern alone.

What is the lifecycle status of PIC12C variants?

Lifecycle values in our listing: Active. Status is per MPN suffix — one variant can be Active while another is NRND. Check PCN for your exact suffix before multi-year commitments.

What should I send for an RFQ on PIC12C?

Full manufacturer MPN (not just PIC12C), quantity, needed date code, reel vs tube, and any compliance docs (CoC, RoHS, conflict minerals). If you only know the base prefix, include a photo of the existing label or reel.
